A clover writer in an eastern
newspaper says:
"The civil war had much TO do.
with the nervous prostration and
general failure of health of Ameri-
can people. The suspense and
anxiety attending fl by the absence
and danger of relatives, the death
in battles and hospitals of soldiers,
whose wives and female relatives
were dependent upon them, the
struggle to earn a livelihood By
such women who were unframed
and unaccustomed to work, the
poverty often resulting thcrefrom,
the loss of property, and the terrible
soul narrowing scenes 70 which
many were subjected, produced q
severe failure of health in the past
and present generations. 1t made
the nation partially one of reckless,
broken spirited men, and Of pre-
maturely old, sad and invalid wo-
men,"
And yet we have plenty of peo-
pie that would like to go through IT
again. They are the people who
grew rich, and waxed fat off of the
miseries that the war produced.
They want more "bIud. .''-Gauipo-

Cleveland al HIS Old Home.


So many of our subscribers are
anxious to read the speech of Presi.
dent Cleveland, delivered at his old
home, Fayetteville, N. Y, on Jolly
18th, 1887, that we accede to their
requests and publish it. Here it is,
short, but interesting. It will do to
cut ont and preserve in your scrap
book:
any friends, see that # is i'm
possible in the short space allotted,
to shake all by the hand, and 1 am
unwilling to leave you without Civ
ing some recognition to all. Iam
unchanged to-day, as far as my
feelings are considered, toward the
people of Fayetteville, and it is with
extreme gratitude that I am with
you. 1 find myself in a place, above
all others, dear to me at the present
time. 1t was here that / enjoyed
every pleasure, sport and Pasttime
of my boyhood. I must recall to
to the minds of the citizens of Fay
etteville some of the changes since
40 years ago. Very many Of the
friends of that time are dead. I
was reminded to-day of the number
of deaths on the north side of our
principal street, between the bridge
and the street ON which I used to
turn down to the old parsonage,
and Twas astonished. Among those
that are gone whom 1 can recall,
are Mr.. Cobb, Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Gil
lett, the McVickers, Wordens, Pal
mers, Edwards, Mobiles, Hurds,
Flints and may others. There are
other things that recall the scenes
and incidents of my boyhood, beside
the dead. 1 remember Green Lake
and the fish that Itried to catch and
never caught, and which / suppose
are there to-day. Yes, and 1 re-
member the story of the panther
seen on the shore and how scared
was. But / have heard SO much
bowling for the past two years that
LIDO not think the panther would
frighten me now. I could tell some
of the old residents of Fayetteville
who took off their gates 40 years
ago. / mention this as since have
been in Washington 1 have been
accused of SO many crimes that
taking off a gate seems to me almost
virtue.
81 received my first rudiments of
education in Fayetteville and these,
with the Sunday school and relig-
ious influence, are all brought back
fresh in my mind. All of these re-
membranes have gone with me
through every station of life. 1t is
a pleasure to recall in retrospection
Fayetteville, and those days, SO
many years ago, are the fAirest and
pleasantnest memories that my
mind dwells upon. 1 have taken
you and the village of Fayetteville
with me. You are part Of this
administration. I have been q bad
truant, but ask you TO keep an
eye on me- I promise to perform
my duties SO as to receive the ap-
probation of the people of Fayette-
ville-my oldest and best friends. "

Speaker Carlisle. II think the
denomination Of Mr. Cleveland is a
foregone conclusion, and in my
opinion it is the wisest and best
thing the democratic party can do.
IF nominated he win be elected, no
matter who may be his opponent.
He has given the country a sensible,
business-like and patriotic adminis-
tration, and the best evidence Of
his capacity for the place he oc
chpies is found in the fact that
even his most vigilant and xfndfc-
tive political opponents have not
been able to point to single in
stance in which any public interest
has suffered on account of his ON
cial conduct. The petulant tone
of the party criticism to which he
has been subjected throughout his
administration is OF itself confess
sion that his course in regard TO
large and important matters is un-
assailable. So long as he does che
right thing at the right time. and
in the right way, no political capi-
tai can be made by attempts to-
ridicule or exaggerate his personal
characteristics ;and, ifhe is repom-
mated, the Republicans will dis
cover, long before the campaign is
over, that this shot is too small for
the game they are hunting

ministered to me in heavy and contin-

We meekly and reverently submit tc
the dispensation of an All-wise Provl-
dence in removing from our midst by the
hand of death one of our Weep Presidents,
Mrs. A. B. Towers. She was beloved
sister and co-worker in the Temperance
cause. Her calm and beautiful christian
department in all the circles of life, and
activity and zeal in every work and en-
terprise which had for its object the ad.
yancement of our Redeemer's kingdom
and the amelioration of suffering human.
ity, had greatly endeared her to us who
knew her true worth.
She was reserved in the expression OF
her views and sentiments, but firm in the
advocacy OF every good work. Her infiu.
ence an d energy in the promotion OF the
Temperance cause were united with tnat
of her husband, of which for more than
forty years he has been consistent and
Jealous advocate She did not hesitate to
unite with her sisters in the struggle {" For
God and Home and Native Land" We
shall no more have her counsel in our
deliberations, yet her encouraging words
and lovely example will ever remain in
our hearts to encourage us to persevere in
the noble work in which we have united
our efforts. -
We feel her loss and deeply sympathize
with her grief-stMcken family. This trib-
ute very inadequately expresses the esti-
nation in which we hold her memory,
and our appreciation of her beautiful life.
We kno,0 it is right for "God hath bereft
u.s." She, though dead, will ever live in
the memory of the "W. @. 7. U"

We have had an intermittent gale for
the past three or four days, accompanied
with considerable rain, which has done
great damage to corn crops. Just north
east of us short distance the storm was
terrific; in one instance, completely de-
molishing house and scattering its con.
tents for some distance, and many of the
goods not being found at all.
There were two Union Meetings to have
convened at two Churches in this CON-
munity, which is very remarkable, but on
account Of the inclement weather on
Saturday, there was none at Mt. Bethel
Church; but on Sunday the Sunday
School Union met, and after its session
Rev. J. S. Murray preached sermon on
prohibition, setting forth the evil and
ruin caused by the use Of liquor, and in a
mild and logical manner appealing to the
people to exercise their influence in flvor
of prohibition. We would say to the
prohibitionists, "hold the fort, and raise
high their royal banner and never yield
to fear"
n We suppose that the Commissioners oi
Election could not get the names OF any
antics in this Township to manage the
election, but went outside to get two OF
the managers. We have a number OF
competent men in this Township to man
age her own affairs, and if we must have
some antics to help manage the approach
ing election. let us have them from our
own township.
There are fewer schools in session in
this section of country than in many
years past. Teachers being paid in pro-
portion to the average attendance up 10
an average attendance of twenty five, and
no more, when it exceeds that number,
has caused an increase of the number OF
schools, and decrease in the attendance
of each school, consequently has forced
teachers to seek other vocations.
Under the present school system there
is little inducement to the young to pre-
pare themselves for teaching. The quail
fications requisite for teaching are on q
higher basis than formerly, and we think
the salaries should be raised accordingly.
